He seems like a nice enough dude, but let's face it: Lefty looked clueless out there last night. The look on his face was not that of a confident field general. You could time his throwing motion with a sun dial.

Charlie Batch is not an excellent option either, given his age, but he has managed the game admirably when he has been asked to start here. His 5-2 record is a testament to that. No, he will not be half as effective as BB, but I strongly endorse him to start over Leftwich. Remember 2010, we almost pulled one out against the Rats with him at the helm.

Now, given the somewhat encouraging news that just came out about Ben's injury, let's hope this point becomes moot by Sunday and the big fella will be able to gut it out. You know that if he physically can play with any level of effectiveness he will in a game like this.

If they both do not pan out (which I have no reason to believe they won't), then blame the coaching staff & FO.
They have been living and dying on these two guys for 3 seasons now. And seem to not want to upgrade the backup QB postion. Which the team needs badly. Because it is not "what if" Ben gets hurt and misses games. But "when"...
To think thet Eli Manning has not missed any game in his career. Pretty amazing.

I would honestly trust Batch's skillset more, but I would still start Lefty over him. I could see Batch leaving the field with about 18 bones fractured the first time Suggs comes loose on the rush. I know Lefty isn't Iron man himself, but i think at least his gut would absorb some of the impact.
